DM RobC - "Right now I would say she is temporarily trapped, and likely about to teleport out here somewhere" - Map 24d4=63 ; Thursday March 3rd, 2022 1:52:52 AM
Grindar can't work out a dragon could has a spell in an antimagic field. Armand deduces that she dismissed it to teleport out of the stone shell. He cats a True Seeing spell.
Neshi and Moridark try to identify the spell as it's being cast, but not being able to see it leaves them unable to pin it down.
Moridark casts a haste spell that will no doubt benefit the fighters in the group.
Elyngael has Brawn scarper back to the safety of the tunnel. She though tries to get into a better position to fire on the dragon.
Osul tries to get the attention of his water elemental. The water falling into the pond already disrupts the surface, but the gravel falling on it's head alerts it that something is going on above it. It rises to the surface. (Now on the map)
Neshi casts a Wall of Ice spell to seal the chamber and keep the dragon out.
The White Goddess isn't slowed. She sails through the magical wall - the ice parting and then sealing behind her - and dives down. Neshi and Moridark determine that the spell being cast before was likely the dragon re-establishing it's antimagic field. It's a powerful spell and unlikely that she can do it again.
Grindar has a clear shot and throws his javelin at the dragon but it glances off her side.
"Peasants!" The dragon scowls and exhales a cone of snow and ice across the party (Everyone except for Cotton, Brawn and Moridark takes 63 cold damage. Ref Save vs DC30 for half.) "When I'm finished with you there will be nothing left to bury!".

Grindar's AC and CMD Adjusted for the anti-magic field AC 20/13/17 CMD 23
Even though he failed his save, due to his improved evasion, and resist energy spell, Grindar only takes 3 damage. In spit of that, he shivers a bit, as the cold blast hits him and his friends. He moves in for a better view, and readies an attack, if the dragon decides to swoop down on him, but it won't matter, as he will miss. He is getting really tired of this whole Ant-Magic Shield thing, and feels this has to be one of the most cowardly dragon's he's ever heard of. He responds to the peasant slight by shouting back, "Better a peasant than a false god! I'm surprised the real gods haven't smote you for daring to claim to be one of them. When this is over, I'm going to carve out your liver, as well as the livers off your dead children, and fry them up in some bacon grease. I think they may taste good with some steamed edamame. If they taste good, I will serve your livers at the local poor house"

Armad stands in shock at the dragon's reappearance and takes the full blast from the dragon. Fortunately his spell of protection takes it all. "Guys I got nothing that's going to work against her. I'm too weak physically to damage her in combat and none of my spells are going to be effective."

The dragon comes back, with that thrice sunbaked antimagic pick again. Trellus dodges most of the cold attack, and his Resist Energy covers the bulk of the remainder.
Figuring he's got a better chance with arrows, he glides right, and fires a volley.

(OOC: the wall of ice is a physical barrier not a magical one, so I am not sure how antimagic would effect it, and as she was not physically next to one of the edge points she couldn't have used a reflex save to break the casting that way?)
Neshi momentarily stunned that the ice simply seemed to part in front of the beast, wasn't quite fast enough to avoid all the cold damage (evasion), and mutters a curse.

DM RobC - The round where the DM googles 'edamame' - Map d20+28=29 ; Friday March 4th, 2022 1:47:09 AM
Osul tries his lightning lord abilitity once again but it fails to work. He's not having the best of luck with that today.
Armand and Moridark don't have any spells that can directly get through to affect the dragon. With all those summons spells though there has to be something that can aid in this battle.
Trellus and Neshi damage the dragon from range, but it's Elyngael who might be the deciding factor in this battle. Her arrows easily pierce the dragon's defenses. Whether she lives or dies could determine the outcome.
Grindar swaps verbal barbs with the dragon. "Aren't you dead yet? No matter. You soon will be".
The dragon is careful to stay out of areas where the roof could collapse and flies in to attack Grindar again. Luck is really going Grindar's way right now. He shifts to the right just as the dragon snaps where his head had been (Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC29. Nat1!)
It's trying hard not to show it but the dragon is very clearly wounded and starting to struggle.

Armand considers. He can't directly affect the dragon, but maybe he can distract it.

Osul directs the water elemental to get closer to the dragon. As expected it winks out of existance temporarily. He then casts a Create Water spell directly over the dragon. It rains down on her as expected.
Trellus keeps firing and gets another two arrows to hit their target.
Armand goes for the gold. His flame strike melts a good portion of it and watches it flow onto the surrounding coins and treasure. The fire momentarily distracts the dragon but not enough to get her full attention. If the party fall she'll have plenty more to add to the collections. Moridark has other thoughts for it and starts scooping away at the mountain of gold. If the party need to haul butt then at least they won't be leaving empty handed.
Fearing the dragon might use it's breath weapon again, Neshi buffs himself up with another cold protection spell.
At last the dragon is within reach! Cyrchwr Mawr gets to taste dragon blood and it is sweet.
Elyngael gets three arrows away and all strike deep. Real deep. Highlight to display spoiler: {Manyshot is a full round action that doesn't work with Pinpoint Targeting (standard action) or with haste (standard action). I've counted this as Manshot for the first 2 with crits and then 1 extra for haste for 3 arrows in total}
The dragon roars in pain and glares at Elyngael. Eyes that are the color of alabaster fixate on her. "You!
Ignoring Grindar the dragon turns and flies towards Elyngael. (Provokes AoO from Gindar)
Trellus' Fly spell gives way as the dragon draws near and he falls to the ground (Trellus takes 4pts fall damage and is prone!. Looking up, Trellus is staring right at the underbelly of the dragon hovering only a few feeet above him.
Trellus isn't her target though. The dragon bites into Elyngael. Not as hard as it had the others in the party, but more than enough to pierce the ranger's armor. (Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC40. Elyngael takes 84pts damage. No Stoneskin)

Cotton moves into action, and attempts to take a bit out of the dragon, but fails to connect. Grindar throws caution to the wind and charges the dragon, barely managing to sink Cyrchwr Mawr into her.

Grindar misses on his first attack but now things are getting serious. The party that he's only just met need his muscle, and he's not going to let them down. Grindar and Cotton charge in for a two pronged assault. As Cotton draws near the dragon lashes out at her! (AoO. Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC39. Cotton takes 97pts damage. No Stoneskin). It may have distracted her, as Cotton can't get her teeth through the dragon's scales. Cyrchwr Mawr doesn't have that problem.
Elyngael backs up and plugs away with two more arrows.
There's not much Armand can do except patch up more of his wounds. Moridark scoops up 5000lbs of gold and carries it in the air.
Osul calls for Trellus to get outta there - a thought entirely shared by Trellus. The druid casts a small, targeted earthquake to hit the northern half of the dragon and away from those close on the southern end. He's careful not to bring the dragon crashing to the ground atop Trellus. The dragon gets hit by lots of rocks but doesn't get pinned. Trellus is sheltered from the rocks by the dragon and avoids getting squished by it too.
Finally Trellus starts crawling his way out from under the dragon.
The dragon grins a toothy, bloody grin. "Oh no you don't. You're my insurance policy". It drags Trellus back underneath it and holds a claw to his chest. "If I get buried, you get buried" (Start a grapple. Trellus can make an AoO. CMB: 62 (Nat20)! Trellus is grappled!). Trellus can see many open wounds on the dragon now. It's underbelly has been torn to shreds and crimson blood now coats most of the dragon's ivory scales.
"This is your last chance to surrender worms! Put your weapons down now or I'll squash him until his eyes pop from his head!" The dragon coughs blood over Trellus, coating him in the fluid and making him slick to the touch.

Grindar sees Trellus's plight, and realizes there is only one thing he can do to assist him, and so Cotton and Grindar both go into full round action mode. Cotton misses all her attacks, but Grindar manages to land 3 nice hits.

Suddenly seeing the dragon fall Armand says, "Why don't we wait a few minutes before handing out healing. We need to get Trellus out of there. If that anti-magic field weren't there we'd have a lot of options to do that. For now I'm afraid it's brute strength time....unless someone has other ideas?"

DM RobC - "Maybe we can cut a tunnel?" Wednesday March 9th, 2022 2:18:36 AM
Neshi misses with his sling, but Grindar delivers the killing blow. The dragon doesn't even have the strength to issue one last insult. It collapses in a heap atop Trellus. Moridark isn't able to reach the cleric who is stuck right under the middle of the dragon. Armand pulls out his hammer and knocks some scales off to try and cut a 'tunnel' through the dragon. That would be a story to tell some day! Osul considers the magical route of casting a reverse gravity spell.
Elyngael keeps her bow drawn in case the dragon makes any last moves, but it is well and truly dead.
Trellus kicks and struggles to reach freedom until he is finally squeezed out like the pattie from a badly held burger. (OOC: You can keep the hero point). Trellus is covered head-to-toe in dark, dragon blood with only his eyes clear of the stuff.
The battle is finally over. No doubt the toughest the Wardens have faced to date. There are piles of ash where there were onces swarms. Two large dragons have been killed and one absolutely gargantuan one. The pure white scales of the dragons have been scorched, punctured, sliced and torn.
Water gathers on the ice overhead. The surface of the pool of water in the room starts to still. There is a lot of rubble from the multiple earthquakes cast and you have to wonder on the integrity of the ceiling now.

Neshi takes a moment to cast two clenched fist spells (strength 33) and directs them to push the dragon off of Trellus.

Grindar is about to put his shoulder to the dragon, with the intent of helping free Trellus, but when Trellus wiggles himself free, he relaxes. He cleans the blood off Cyrchwr Mawr, and than walks over to check on Cotton. Seeing her wounded, Grindar asks, "Could someone cast some healing magic on Cotton? She seems a bit beat up." He than scratches the rapke behind the ears, and calls her a good girl, as he draws a dagger and slices off a large slab of dragon meat, and gives as a snack to Cotton.

Armand burns his earthquake spell and casts Cure Critical Mass. Everyone heals, 42 hp (4d8+16). Then he burns Summon Monster VII to do it again. Everyone heal 38 more hp.
He looks around. "Guys let's not forget that indestructable behemeath we encountered at the cave mouth. I say we just mass collect the gold and such and then use the time remaining on Wind Walk to go up the hole in the ceiling and off the mountain."[b] He looks at Cotton and Grinder. [b]"Anyone have a fly or airwalk spell so Cotton and Grinder can also take the easy way out?"
He looks at the pile of gold. "I have a bag of holding, but I'm not sure we can take all that. Maybe we need to quickly sort through things?"
He casts Detect magic and looks over the hoard.

Trellus scrambles out from under the carcass.
Covered in black gore, he eyes Grindar reproachfully. "Dude. You dropped a dragon on me."
He holds the stare as long as he can, before breaking into a grin, a chuckle, and then a belly laugh that quickly turns into coughing after he mistakenly inhales some of the goo.
Recovering himself, he answers Armand. "No flying spells left, I'm afraid. I've got a Handy Haversack, so I can take a bunch of gold too."

Moridark lets out a visible sign as the healing washes over him. "Thank you Armand! The mage looks at his sphere, Iwas going to make it rain gold over the dragon if you hadn't killed it. To bad that sphere doesn't last an exteremly long time." Moridark casts detect magic with the others.
DM RobC - "Dude. You dropped a dragon on me." Thursday March 10th, 2022 1:44:20 AM
The party enjoy a little post combat euphoria. Trellus feels lucky to be alive and ribs Grindar about dropping a dragon on him. Cotton gets to feed on some fresh dragon meat while the party work out what to do.
Osul and Neshi go to help Trellus but find he has managed to crawl his own way out.
Armand and Elyngael are a little worried that the behemoth was right behind them and suggest a quick exit. The ranger takes a position by the mouth of the cave and stays alert for any tremors.
Moridark and Armand each cast a Detect Magic spell and look over the hoard. They detect magical auras all through the pile! This isn't just a pile of gold and silver. This is an actual dragon hoard.
Moridark is quite knowledgeable in the arcane and so he knows quite a bit about dragons and behemoths. To coexist in the same territory they likely had an understanding to stay clear of each other. If that's true, then it's unlikely the behemoth would come exploring here any time soon. He also recalls that the behemoth was regenerating at quite a slow rate so the party would have at least a few hours before it wakes, let alone travels this far - if were to even do so.
It looks like the party have time on their side.

When Trellus emerges and makes his accusation, Grindar feels crest fallen, and is about to defend his honor, but when Trellus starts laughing, the ranger playfully punches Trellus in the shoulder, and says, "You whitehand, you had me going!" than he too starts laughing, and says, "I'm glad you're alive my friend, and that goes for the rest of this pack as well." After that, Grindar offers, "I too have a handy haversack, and as such can help carry some of the hoard away." As he says this, Grindar starts perusing the hoard to see what was obtained.

Elyngael looks around at the three different dragon bodies. She wants some souvenirs...maybe the teeth of the small dragon for a necklace. "Anyone want some dragon souvenirs? Armand I know the haft of your glaive is made from one of the long bones of the red dragon we defeated. Think there's enough here to make dragon hide armor?

DM RobC - "Anyone want some dragon souvenirs?" Friday March 11th, 2022 12:17:15 AM
Osul isn't too concerned about the behemoth, but the water above worries him a little. Assuming he takes no action the wall of ice disappears after a short period of time and the water splashes down into the pool below. The small waterfall resumes pouring from the ceiling above. The sound is quite calming now that there isn't any sign of danger. He wonders whether the caravan guy was one of the younger dragons here. Quite possible.
Moridark is a little concerned now that there might be another dragon out there. What if it's worse than this one?!
Elyngael wants some dragon souvenirs and considers dragonhide armor. There's enough here to make three suits: - One suit of masterwork studded leather, hide, scale or banded mail armor - One suit of masterwork studded leather or hide armor - One suit of masterwork studded leather or hide armor In each case, enough hide is available to produce a small or large masterwork shield in addition to the armor.
Grindar, Osul, and Neshi start going through the loot and sort it into piles. Armand and Trellus work through identifying the magical items while Moridark appraises the non-magical items.
Even working together it takes close to 45mins to sort through the items in this fashion. The final list is impressive and Moridark values it all at just over 1 million gp...

Grindar eyes the Boots of Speed and it is obvious to anyone looking at him that he desires them, but the Ranger can't seem to put his desires into words. The half-orc instead while kicking at an imaginary stone, says, in a rather uncharacteristic, uncertain voice, lacking all his normal confidence, "You guys aren't a bunch of whitehands, in fact I would call you pure moonshade. I kinda miss running with a pack, and of course you all can say no, and I would totally understand, but would you mind if Cotton and I joined your pack for a while. I know we only met a few hours ago, and maybe it's due to having someone else who speaks with the Sargrass dialect, but I feel a sort of kindred spirit here." Grindar continues to ramble on for a bit, and it is clear he is very uncomfortable in this situation, and hoping someone will cut him off. Anyone can plainly see that the half-orc isn't comfortable sharing his feelings, and would rather be facing an army of undead than simply asking to permanently join the Tree Wardens.

Armand looks in amazement at all the loot. He responds to Grinder "Well Grinder old son, you and Trellus must share some common background because you talk about as funny as he does at times. I think you would make a fine addition to our little group." Then comments to Elyngael, "I think I would really like to have a shield made of that dragon's scales if you don't mind."
Armand then picks up the repeating crossbow, "This could prove useful. I felt very inadequate in this last combat. There may be some more items that would be useful, but I want to allow others to have a first choice as it were." He pauses, "I still feel a bit weak, but after a night's rest I should be able to heal that in myself and anyone else that was effected by the dragon's weakening effect."
He stares in marvel at the array of wealth. "I'm not sure we can use all this . . . stuff. I'm wondering, it's just a proposal, but if there's any left over wealth maybe we could return the gold potion of this dragon hoard, I would like to return it to some of those that have been conned out of their hard earned money. There's the people of the Tree of Parting of course, but there's also Evenoak which has suffered. Also they seem to have been under the sway of those 'clerics' of the white goddess.

OOC: Iwill update my sheet this week. It has been a grueling week of work.
Moridark absentmindedly pulls out his notebook and begins writing down items, amounts of coin, and various goods. The mage gasps as the final tally comes out. "I am new here too my friends. I am not sure who has a say, but I would definitely travel, and fight alongside each of you!" Moridark walks over and firmly shakes each of their hands.
The mage looks over at Neshi, "Ican help with teleports, and what not. Ijust need a nights rest to reallocate my spells for travel. Icould proably swing 12 teleports, and 5 greater. The question is do we rest here, or elsewhere?"
Moridark looks at the mounds of items, "I am sure Icould use several items in there but Iwill defer until others have made thier choices."

There are a few items that catch the eyes of our heroes. Everyone is being very polite about what they want to claim and making sure all get to pick over the winnings.
Grindar brings up a sensitive topic. It's been a while since he found a pack he wanted to travel with, and asking is something he isn't entirely comfortable with. The group though are welcoming of the half-orc and more than happy for him to travel with them.
Between you there are more than a few teleports and ways of getting out of here. Elyngael points out that there's a bag of holding mixed in with the loot. That will certainly help with transport.
It's currently early afternoon. In all the fighting and exploring the party have missed lunch.

'Osul agrees with Elyngael regarding the buckler, but he ... wait a minute! "Treehouses, huts, castles and the like... okay, not the treehouse! Are things that are left in them once the spell expires still able to be accessed when they are cast again? We may well be able to get the sections of dragonskins packed, but I'm running out of ideas for getting the skull back..."

Grindar feels a warmth of emotions flow through him as he is welcomed into his new pack, and he has no words to describe his feelings. Truth be told, the half-orc, though confident in most all situations, never learned how to express the same confidence regarding his emotions. In fact the only time his emotions become obvious is when either the innocent are in danger or harmed, or someone he cares about is suffering or taken from him. So instead of some heart felt thank you, or speech on how he is willing to lay down his life for his pack, which is something he would gladly do, he simply grunts and says, "Unless someone else has claim on those Boots of Speed, I feel I may be able to make good use of them."

Armand waves off the boots. "Take them Grinder." He looks at everyone. "Elyngael has a point. We can either stay here and rest and recuperate, assuming the beheamoth will leave this area alone, or we can transport it to that spot we met Grinder. We have several hours of wind walk left and we can simply load the bags of holding and shoot back and forth several dozen times. We can also load Brawn with stuff, he's pretty strong for a wolf."

(OOC: Will get sheet updated over the weekend. I am swamped currently)
DM RobC - "and the invisible steed you rode in on!" Tuesday March 15th, 2022 2:33:52 AM
Grindar, Trellus and Moridark put their hands up for a few items. Given how much sheer loot there is there's bound to be something for everyone.
Armand looks over the silver flagon. He recognizes the holy symbol for Flower on it. The flagon is non-magical but still a very nice piece.
Brawn and Cotton are dobbed in as potential pack animals.
Elyngael is still a little concerned about that behemoth. The party aren't exactly in fighting shape right now.
Osul wants the skill and there's still some thinking going on about how to get it.
The party are still discussing where to go once they leave here. Do they head back out into the fog? Windwalk somewhere? Try a teleport? Just plain ol' walk it? There are plenty of options to choose from and all have pros and cons.

Grindar removes his mundane boots, and puts on the boots of speed. He than starts filling his handy haversack with loot. when the haversack is full, he begins filling the bag of holding, found in the loot pile. When that is full, he slings the strap over his shoulder, and says, "There is a beginning, how shall we weave the rest of the extraction, and how shall we convert our four legged friends to pack animals?"

Armand takes out his bag of holding and scoops it full of loot. He tosses the adamantine dagger to Elyngael. "If you would do the honors, of salvaging the hide that 'Osul wants, and the plates I need for a a shield, and I guess that dragon head, load it up on Brawn."
He turns to the others. "I think there's some more bags of holding? With the remaining time of Wind Walk which would last for at least 16 hours, and at the top 'walking' speed we can muster with that spell, I'd say we'd have no problem reposition the loot to the the spot where we met Grinder."
With that he will shift to wind walk form and zoom out the ceiling to the meeting place. and back, and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth....etc

Elyngael takes the adamantine dagger and sets to work gathering dragon things. Survival d20+30=43.
"Maybe someone should stay in the clearing where we met Grinder and stand guard while the others make with the hauling. This will take me a bit. Now that's enough hide for one normal sized armor and one shield right?"

'Osul pitches in. A thought strikes him.
"How can we ensure some high powered cleric doesn't restore the dragon to life?"

Trellus goes along with hauling to the spot where they met Grindar.
He commences with loading himself up, and wind walking to the place. Barring interruption, he repeats the process - a lot.

Moridark volunteers to stay at the spot. He has most of his spells still available just in case.
DM RobC - "....and I guess that dragon head, load it up on Brawn." Wednesday March 16th, 2022 2:12:39 AM
Osul is a little worried about someone resurrecting the dragon. Presumably all dead things go to visit Gargul when they die. Would he allow an evil dragon to be raised from the dead? He did create all the evil dragons you know. It's a story line your DM wishes he'd thought of.
The party set to steadily relocating all the treasure from point A to point B. That is, moving it out of this room and back to the spot where they met Grindar.
Elyngael suggests someone stay with the loot, to which Moridark volunteers. It makes sense to have someone guard your hoard. The ranger starts expertly carving chunks of bloody dragon and scales. It's hard not to get it all over you.
Fill up the bags. Fly out of the room. Empty the bags. Fly back. Repeat. It's a long afternoon but sifting through hard earned gains isn't the worst way to spend your time.

Besides his handy haversack and the bag of holding found in the horde, Grindar uses whatever other container he can find to fill with loot, including his old mundane boots. He first loads up Cotton, and than himself. Once loaded, he stands by to be teleported by Neshi.

Ok I can make 5 round trips and one last trip back to the campsite, Though god help us anything more than a couple of goblins attack us as far as I am concerned.
So I can take Cotton, Grindar, and Brawn loaded.
I will leave Grindar and Cotton there to start setting up camp and guard what we bring. I will bring Brawn back with me.
Then we start moving what we can until I have the one spell left and I will make one last trip with loaded people no animals Then we can decide what needs to be done if there is any thing left.
Thoughts, suggestions?

Elyngael finishes carving up the dragons. She's confident that beheading them is a pretty permanent way for them to stay dead. Like Trellus, she's drenched in dragon blood. Is there a bath in the treehouse?
Some of the group windwalk, and Neshi helps the rest with teleportation (Highlight to display spoiler: {I've been sending to an @frontier email address. Is that the right one?})
Finally the party have the last copper piece packed away.
Armand takes inventory and makes note of who would like what. Moridark then meticulously double checks all the figures. They each confirm everything is accounted for and adds up. Osul is still gobsmacked at the sheer volume of loot.

I think I am interested in trading in my cloak of resistance for one of these as it is a bit more potent +4 VS +3 And I am interested in the pale green ioun stone. Also if no one is interested in them I might be interested in one or both of the tomes to read......
I agree that I would like to return to Evenoak, but The tree needs us first.

The party relax in the safety of the Treehouse. It's the first time Grindar has seen it though I'm sure anywhere to rest in good company is fine by him.
The inevitable question is: where to next? There are only two options that are considered: Evenoak and back to the Tree - and both sound tempting.
It's been a while since the party have been home and so it's practically unanimous that it's where you should return. You can enjoy some rest with their friends and family, sell off anything here that won't be of use, and reward yourselves with ale in the Treetop tavern while tell of your recent adventures. There's probably even time to visit the WLA for those so inclined.
Watches are set for the night though it is uneventful. In the morning you feel refreshed and ready to travel again.

The party add loot from previous encounters into the pile. There's more wealth here than you'd find in some of the bigger towns in the Wold! Should make your next trip to the Catacombs a fun one :)
Armand gifts the party with some more healing and finds he has no way to cure a lot of ability damage, short of a mass heal spell.
Elyngael wonders about using wands. Provided the spell is one that she knows then she'd have no trouble using the wand - druid or otherwise.
Moridark offers to share the teleport load with Neshi, if that is how the party plan to travel.
There is general agreement to head back to the Tree once final preparations are made for the journey.

Moridark reads over his spellbook, and while the others began their final preparations.

The party rest up and in the morning are fully healed and ready to go.
You have to make several trips back and forth to transport all of your new loot. Even with lots stashed away in bags of holding and such, the only room in the house big enough to store it all is the training room. The coins pile up to just beneath the window sills, and items are lined up against the walls or stacked precariously in woven baskets.
This is the Grindar's first visit to the Tree. You can't take in it's full splendor from inside the house but looking out the window you can see it reaches higher than any castle spire you have ever seen. Its great canopy stretches out and seems to help support the sky itself. In the upper branches you can see lights, torches, magic or lanterns - it's hard to tell, but they shine above you.
It's been a long time since the party have been home. Teleporting right into the house has hidden your return from the other residents of the Tree, so you have the place to yourselves for the moment.

While I traveled in the Sargrass Plains, my pack and I befriended a conclave of druids, tasked with defending a druid's grove. Those trees were called ents, and they could move about freely. In fact, a mighty ent sacrificed himself to defeat an enemy that would have crushed the whole grove along with all the druids, and my pack as well."
While sharing this memory, a tear forms in Grindar's left eye. Not one who is comfortable showing emotion, Grindar quickly brushes away the tear, and than adds. "Besides my sojourn in the Sargrass Plains, I spent much time in the Culverwood, helping establish Freedom's Landing, however, it is said that the Tree of Parting is truly unique in it's grandeur, and I do look forward to exploring it. I even heard that the Tree was once an ent like the ones I met in the Sargrass. I must confess that this is of great interest to me, especially as a warrior of nature."
Once at the Tree, Grindar looks up and sees the lights. He marvel's at them for a bit, until Osul starts talking about accommodations for Cotton and himself. "Friend Osul, I have no desire to put you out of your chamber, Cotton and I are as happy sleeping outdoors as we are in a feather bed. If the only room available large enough to accommodate Cotton is your, than we would be happy to sleep in the courtyard, or simply get a room at the famous Tree Top Tavern."

"I wonder where James is?Anyway let me point out a few or our rooms. There's a large room in the back next to Neshi's room that might do for you and Grinder.

When Elyngael finishes putting things up she asks, "How do we want to do this? Do we just walk out from here or do we teleport off a ways and then walk in? We need to get the dragon heads to a taxidermist and the skins/scales to the tanner/armorer."

The party pile the last of the loot in the training room and have to really force the door to get it closed.
As good hosts, the Wardens give the newcomers a tour of the house and point out the rooms that are currently available for them to call their own. This DM isn't entirely sure who is new to the Tree, but it sounds like this is the first time for Grindar and Moridark at least. The house has all the facilities: bathing room, library, alchemy room, and so on. Even a billiard room!
The group are receiving a tour of the kitchen when it happens... *crash!* You turn around to see James - the house steward - looking rather surprised. By his feet are the shattered remains of a moderately expensive ceramic vase. His gaze shifts between Cotton and the rest of the group. "I.. uh.. I didn't hear you come in." He doesn't look too sure whether he should move or stand his ground. Can a rapke see something standing perfectly still? James isn't entirely sure but that's the approach he's taking.
The pantry looks a little on the lean side. There's enough for a few basic meals, but nothing too fancy. Obviously James wasn't expecting you or it would certainly have been well stocked with fresh items. Everything else though is spotlessly clean. Say what you will, but James is one of the best.

When Grindar sees James's reaction to seeing Cotton for the first time, the ranger quickly introduces himself saying, "Fear not friend, my name is Grindar, son of Grindor, and this is my trusted friend Cotton. Cotton is a friendly rapke, unless someone means her or me harm. She is also house broken, so you won't have to worry about stepping in a steaming land mine."

But we had a rather larger amount of 'reclaimed' goods than we could conceivable carry all the way back to the Tree. So we've been teleporting back and forth to keep it all gathered in one place until we can properly dispose of it. Let me introduce you to some people, well let me first state that Atlas, Varmir, and Owen and family have left. They're not dead, it's just that they were called away to a higher duty. Heck Atlas is serving one of those Greater Powers. And we picked up some new comers, let me introduce you to Trellus and Moridark. Grinder and Cotten have already introduced themselves."
He continues, [b]"Don't worry about not being prepared, I'm sure you'll supersede our expectations in all things. Though it's been a while since we've had proper bathing and some honest cooking. But that can wait. Tell us how fares things at the Tree? The last time we were here things were not too rosy with those white goddess clerics and the exchange of her 'new' gold coins for every 2 of regular gold coins."[b]

Trellus' ears perk up at Armand's introduction to James.
"Oooo, proper bathing.. Yes, please."

Neshi grins at Trellus, Yeah, I imagine we are all a bit over ripe so-to-speak. My next bit of business, before I go out and announce that we are back, will definitely be a bath.
After that I will take a trip to the catacombs and see all this stuff and return with bags of gold and gems that can be distributed as necessary. So if there is anything that anyone still desires please get it before I go.
DM RobC - "Oooo, proper bathing.. Yes, please." Thursday March 24th, 2022 3:03:15 AM
Osul collects the remains of the vase and magically puts it back together. No harm, no foul.
Armand introduces James to everyone and explains the departure of the others. He's still a little unsure of Cotton, though tentatively reaches out to give her a small tap on the head as one would when meeting a pup. "Good, er, rapke?".
The thing that catches the attention of most is the bath. Most of the party have found themselves covered in the blood or bile of one creature or another these past days, and a prestidigitation spell only goes so far. There's only one bathing room though. Will you be taking turns or will this turn into a communal bonding experience?
The vacant rooms are spotlessly clean and have the basics you'd expect. Plenty of room for customization though. With all the trade that passes through the Tree you're sure you could find whatever you need to make a room your own.
Armand then asks of the white goddess clerics. James tries hard to hide a smile but can't help it. "Oh. Them. I don't think you'll be seeing them around here any time soon. They were saying some unkind things about you in the tavern and Ciyradyl overheard them and reprimanded them". Those of you that have been here a while know Ciyradyl is one of the nicest people one could ever meet, so it would take something to really push her buttons. "They didn't take that too kindly and I believe one may have said something that offended her. Unfortunately for them, Miles and Hiflanyl were in the tavern at the time. That's when the fight started."
James then remembers the pantry. "Would you prefer I head out and procure some food or will you be heading to the tavern later? I'll stock up regardless. I think Laughingwater said there were some nice boars about. Were there any other preferences?"
Yurr'Neshi(Kent)AC:(30)25 / T(24)20 / F(25)20; HP: 133/133: Evasion, Spell resistance 18%, fire resistance 30 Thursday March 24th, 2022 12:21:20 PM
"James, that boar sounds absolutely wonderful." Neshi tosses over his shoulder as he makes his way to the bathing area....
Once done with his bathing, Neshi gets ready and heads to the catacombs. (last call anyone!!!!)
Grindar, Son of Grindor (Jeremy) AC 35+5/18/32+5 CMD 39 133/133HP Cotton AC 31+5/13/28+5 CMD 35 126/126 HP Thursday March 24th, 2022 1:26:29 PM "Roast pig sounds shady, though it's no substitute for prairie pig roasted over an open fire. They say prairie pig tastes like pork, but to my mind, pork tastes like prairie pig"
Grindar waits his turn for the bath, and than when he emerges, minus what seemed to be a life time of grime, he emerges a rather handsome half-orc. It is clear he inherited the comeliness of his human half. Is there some place I can have my traveling clothes laundered, they are as ripe as I was, and I believe they could walk themselves to the laundry." He takes the time to clean his mithral breastplate, and polish the precious metal, as well as oiling the leather straps and giving the piece of armor a complete inspection. He also cleans and polishes Cyrchwr Mawr, and stows everything, in his new room, before rejoining his new pack.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25n /touch 11/flat 24norm HP 126/126n CMD 25 Character Sheet Thursday March 24th, 2022 5:20:54 PM
Armand tells James, "The pig is fine, but I think we'll probably have an our dinner up at the Triple T. I wouldn't say no to snacking items though as it may be quite the wait for the bath. Here's some money to see to stocking up and what not." He hands James 1000gp. "And I think the laundry service at the Tree is going to be taxed for a bit." He laughs.
While he waits for his turn at the bath he will see to the cleaning of his armor and weapons. His traveling clothes and boots he will leave to be cleaned. He dons a simple robe while he waits his turn for the bath.

Elyngael says,"James please send for the taxidermists that did the red dragon head. We have three more to add to the collection." She will take her turn with Brawn in the bathroom. He's a bit on the very dirty side even for a wolf.
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 26n (30 w/buckler)T:15, FF:22n, CMD 35, HP 154/154 Thursday March 24th, 2022 6:31:53 PM
OOC I forgot, I assume the hide/scales for the armor and shields will have to to go the catacombs for making into armor since the dragon hide is precious. It's probably best that the individual person getting than done take it to the catacombs?
Grindar, Son of Grindor (Jeremy) AC 35+5/18/32+5 CMD 39 133/133HP Cotton AC 31+5/13/28+5 CMD 35 126/126 HP Thursday March 24th, 2022 6:56:27 PM
OoC... The Catacombs can enchant dragon armor, but can't buy, or sell it. Also, they can't craft anything out of it. That has to be done in game.
Trellus - MikeK - (AC36 T18 F32, CMD 37, SR 25, HP (119/140) Thursday March 24th, 2022 7:15:29 PM
Trellus also waits his turn before enjoying a good cleansing.
Anticipating a longish evening at what Armand dubbed the Triple T, he also grabs a quick nap.
Moridark (Wade) AC: 20 T: 16 F: 16 R: 14 F: 12 W: 23 HPS: 134/134 CMD: 28 Mage Armor (Extended) Overland Flight Thursday March 24th, 2022 7:27:58 PM
Moridark waits his turn for the bath, and lays across his bed. The mage will also don a simple robe, with hood for the evening as his travel worn clothing is laundered.
'Osul (Cayzle subbing for Graham) Thursday March 24th, 2022 11:05:12 PM
"Well, my most excellent friends, it is clear to me beyond all doubt that a bath would be most refreshing. Still, I suspect that my need is much less than that of all of you, seeing as I spent most of our adventure in the most noble form of an air elemental, on which no dirt can rest. Thus, let me go last in the bathing order, as seems meet to me, for as they say, the least shall go first, and the greatest shall be last."
'Osul smiles and bows as he condescends to be the last one in the bathing room. But he does cast several purification spells before he tends to his own toilette.
[OOC: Not really knowing how to play 'Osul at all, I figure the air elementalist is likely a blowhard.]
[Get it? Blow hard? Blowhard?]
[Now you have an inlking of the nightnare that is your future playing experience under my DMship! Sorry Graham!]
[ALSO: Hi everybody! Very happy to be joining the game.]
DM RobC - "I think the laundry service at the Tree is going to be taxed for a bit." Friday March 25th, 2022 1:31:48 AM
It's the little things that matter. Despite all the riches, the only thing the party want now they're home it's to take a bath. Each person waits patiently for their turn to relax in the warm water of the tub. Cotton and Brawn also receive a little attention.
Grindar gives his adventuring gear a good going over. Weapon cleaned and polished? Check. Breastplate buffed? Check. Straps oiled? Check. Soon his equipment is as clean as he is.
Others though opt to take advantage of the local facilities - specifically the launderer. Armand gives James some gold to cover the costs and you can only hope it's enough. It's unlikely the staff here have tried to scrub dragon blood out of a tunic before. James provides a large sack for you to place all the soiled garments.
Some other tasks are also set for James. Elyngael asks him to send or the taxidermists. There are three more dragon heads to add to the collection. Then there's the matter of restocking the pantry. Fresh boar will certainly make for a good meal but the party are keen to get out and see the people of the Tree. It's been far too long since you've been able to relax in the Triple T with friends.
Neshi has plans to take all the loot to the catacombs but it will take him several trips to move it all! There's no rush of course.
Now all clean and looking pretty good, you depart from the Treehouse and leave James to all those chores.
The residents of the Tree never saw you return, so you do see a few surprised faces. Their expressions turn to grins and smiles to see you once again. Miles is the first familiar face you see.
"Friends!" He calls and raises his hand in greeting as he approaches "I didn't get word you'd returned." He goes to shake hands with each of you. To those he hasn't met before he introduces himself. "Miles Raynor. Head of security around here. Well, when the Wardens aren't around anyway!". He looks about "Where are the rest?" The party don't look upset by anything, so he probably assumes the former members of the party are about somewhere.
His attention turns to Cotton. "A rapke? Huh, haven't seen one of those around here before. Trained? She looks well treated." Unlike most people, Miles doesn't look alarmed at all to see Cotton and if anything looks really interested. He holds out the back of his hand for her to sniff but otherwise makes no attempt to touch her.
You're all perceptive enough to notice the bruises on Miles' knuckles.
OOC [CDM Jerry] Friday March 25th, 2022 11:44:45 AM
Wade, give me a call. One of our old local D&D mates had a heart attack last night. If you need my number email me or look on the bottom of the address list. I don't know if I'm at liberty yet to say who in this age of privacy. Just talked to his wife. Looks like he'll be ok.
'Osul (Cayzle subbing for Graham) d20+6=20 ; Friday March 25th, 2022 9:45:58 PM
'Osul shakes Miles's hand. "Name's 'Osul. Glad to meet ya! Hey, you look familiar."
The whether druid ponders for a moment. "I can't decide whether or not we have met before. We have, haven't we! I declare, some days the wind just blows all the flotsam and jetsam right out of my head!"
"I see you have some bruised knuckles there. What's the story with those, my friend?"

Trellus - MikeK - (AC36 T18 F32, CMD 37, SR 25, HP (119/140) Saturday March 26th, 2022 9:02:33 AM
Trellus gives Miles an incredulous look. "Dude, you truly just offered your hand to a rapke? Have you any idea how many teeth he's got in there?"
The former Rattledamian is not completely comfortable around Grindar's companion.
Armand (Robert D)AC 26n /touch 12/flat 24norm HP 143/143n CMD 27 Character Sheet Saturday March 26th, 2022 6:19:41 PM "Hi Miles. We just got back. Did some teleporting into the HQ because we had so much stuff. Say, 'Osul is going to need some work done. We've got some white dragon hide with scales he wants turned into some masterwork armor. Do you think Dungarth is up to it?" Armand pauses and scratches his head. "I'm not really sure but is there an armorer at the Tree? I've also got some dragon scales that I'd really like turned into a shield."

As Miles offer Cotton his hand, the rapke sniffs the hand a few times and than gives it a link. "You must smell shady to her friend Miles, I think she likes you."
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 26n (30 w/buckler)T:15, FF:22n, CMD 35, HP 154/154 Sunday March 27th, 2022 3:21:45 PM OOC - will have to get some more gear once all the loot is sold in the catacombs and shares divided out.
Elyngael enjoys walking on the huge tree limbs and the smell of the breeze passing through the leaves. "Hello Miles. How's everything going? It the Tree Top Tavern serving anything extraordinary today?"

Moridark gives a toothy smile to Miles, and introduces himself. The mage notices the knuckles, but waits to say anything since osul broached the subject.
DM RobC - "It the Tree Top Tavern serving anything extraordinary today?" Monday March 28th, 2022 3:45:47 AM
Miles nods and shakes hands as the introductions are made. He's quite a strong man and you can feel it in his grip. He keeps his hand still for Cotton to lick. "I figure if she's walking around with you unleashed then she's either trained or controlled by you somehow." he looks to Trellus "I trust you."
He raises an eyebrow as his old friend Osul speaks. "Took one too many blows to the head I see?" He chuckles. "Been there myself a few times"
Osul - like everyone else - notices Miles knuckles and asks about them. Miles rubs his right hand over the knuckles of his left and grins. "Ah. These are nothing. There was a disturbance in the Triple T that needed resolving. Nothing you need to worry about"
You recall James mentioned something about a fight with the clerics of the white goddess.
Armand asks about the local leathersmith. "Last I heard Dungarth had an order of saddles that he was working through. I'm sure he wouldn't.. wait... did you say dragon hide?". Dungarth is pretty good with hides and is probably the right guy for the job. He's no armorer though so shields might be a little tricky for him. That might require venturing to a city at some point when you have a little down-time.
Elyngael is happy to be back home in the Tree. She has dinner on her mind and asks about the menu. "Nothing extraordinary, but good as always. Ciyradyl has tried a new recipe with baked pheasant and leeks which has been pretty popular though. You heading there now? Sounds like there might be some stories to tell. First pint's on me?"
Grindar, Son of Grindor (Jeremy) AC 35+5/18/32+5 CMD 39 133/133HP Cotton AC 31+5/13/28+5 CMD 35 126/126 HP Monday March 28th, 2022 11:36:40 AM
Grindar's stomach growls, as he realizes he is long overdue for a meal. "I've heard of this Tree Top Tavern, is is famous for it's shady fare, and hospitality. I would like to see if the stories I've heard are true!"
Armand (Robert D)AC 26n /touch 12/flat 24norm HP 143/143n CMD 27 Character Sheet Monday March 28th, 2022 5:03:53 PM "Well come on let's get up there. Don't worry about buying the first round Miles. We are a bit flush right now with coin and things." Armand leads everyone up the scenic route to the Tree Top Tavern.
Trellus - MikeK - (AC36 T18 F32, CMD 37, SR 25, HP (119/140) Monday March 28th, 2022 5:37:45 PM
Trellus grins and heads up with the rest.
"Not sure about stories," he replies to Miles with feigned nonchalance. "The only tales we've got to weave are limited to gargantuan cave behemoths, dragons, and mountains of gold."
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 26n (30 w/buckler)T:15, FF:22n, CMD 35, HP 154/154 Monday March 28th, 2022 6:03:45 PM "I don't know Trellus. I think the regenerating magic proof behemoth would be a tall tale if I hadn't been there to experience it."

Moridark follows the other to the inn. The mage smilling at Trellus, and relaxing for the first time in awhile.
DM RobC - "The only tales we've got to weave are limited to gargantuan cave behemoths, dragons, and mountains of gold." Tuesday March 29th, 2022 3:59:39 AM
The group are more than happy to join Miles at the tavern, though Armand assures him that the party can more than cover any drink charges.
The Treetop Tavern (or the 'TripleT' / 'TTT' as known to the locals) is one of the best places in the area for food, drink and company. That it's literally on the Tree and so close to home is a bonus. It's roughly 500ft up from the ground, so you can tell the visitors from the locals based on whether they hold the handrails or not. Apart from the tavern itself the TripleT also has rooms for guests. The rooms are spread around the tree a bit on this level rather than adjoining so a little different to what you'd find in other towns.
Ciyradyl Ilyndrathyl is the proprietor and one of the loveliest young ladies you could hope to meet. The elven woman moves with a fluid grace and despite her lithe figure she has no trouble carrying the large plates of food that the tavern is known for.
"Well look who it is. My favorite customers!" Ciyradyl chuckles and glides over to see the party. "Come now. Have a seat. Don't just stand there in my doorway". The elven woman escorts you to the round table in the middle of the tavern. Other patrons in the tavern stop to watch. You can overhear some whispers as you move towards the table. "It's them!", "They're back!", "Who's that they're with?", "Think it'd be rude to ask for Elyngael to sign my quiver?" are just a few. All are smiling though. The Tree Wardens are heroes round these parts after all.
Miles waits to see where everyone sits before taking whichever spot is left.
"Now then. What can I get you?"
'Osul (Graham) AC:26 (T:21, FF:25), CMD:28, ST:(F17/R13/W28 + RNL), HP:107/107, Wildshape(XIX):8, L. Lord:17, S. Burst:14 Tuesday March 29th, 2022 6:50:12 AM
'Osul smiles at Ciyradyl and says, "A plain explanation of the coinage you accept and the comparative rates, thank you!"
'Osul looks at Miles, and says "It feels like that some times, Miles Raynor. Shortly after I arrived at the Tree, Zee went looking for a guide for our journey into the Red Hills. She was a fan of yours, Ciyradyl. Zee advised us all that she had been unsuccessful, but the first time ever I heard you name was Zee saying that you had some experience in the lands to the south of The Tree. I thought the Head of Security would have other calls on his time, but I appreciated the honest answer. It comes and it goes."

Grindar walks up to the counter and extends his hand for a hand shake saying, "Grindar, Son of Grindor at your service. Your Tree Wardens helped me, or me them, depending on how you look at it, dispatch the evil "White Goddess", who was not but a white hand of a dragon. Afterwards, they extended an invitation to join their ranks, which was a very shady invitation indeed. I've heard you are moonshade in the kitchen and I would love to dine on whatever you deem worthy. Oh, and a pint of your finest would also be greatly appreciated. "
Armand (Robert D)AC 26n /touch 12/flat 24norm HP 143/143n CMD 27 Character Sheet Tuesday March 29th, 2022 5:47:54 PM
Armand will wave to and acknowledge the other residents of the Tree in the Inn.
"Agreed a pint of beer to whet the whistle as it were. There's no bard among us and as you know Owen and Atlas have left for other duties. Trellus I believe was with us on our last return and Grinder is the newest to join us. But first how goes the Tree? Last we left things were a might out of kilter. Then I guess we can do some 'splaining about where we've been and what we did. But we may want some more people here to hear it, like Laughingwater and Folbre, and maybe one of the sages from the Sages Guild. I wouldn't want to have to keep telling it over and over, it's not like I'm a bard." Armand speaks loudly enough for anyone to easily hear him.
Trellus - MikeK - (AC36 T18 F32, CMD 37, SR 25, HP (119/140) Tuesday March 29th, 2022 6:40:59 PM
Trellus frequented the Tavern a lot during the recent "troubles", and often bought a round or two for the house to generate good will.
Sliding in next to Grindar, he grins at Ciyradyl. "He said he's happy to be with us, heard you are a fantastic cook, and would like some beer," he translates.
"And I would also like a beer, or two."
Elyngael (Lynnette D) AC: 26n (30 w/buckler)T:15, FF:22n, CMD 35, HP 154/154 Tuesday March 29th, 2022 8:03:07 PM
Elyngael looks around. She's always found children under the age of 12 to be like puppies. She pats Brawn on the head. "Brawn would like anything you have. He's gotten used to eating at the table with all the times Armand casts heroes feast."
Moridark (Wade) AC: 20 T: 16 F: 16 R: 14 F: 12 W: 23 HPS: 134/134 CMD: 28 Mage Armor (Extended) Overland Flight Tuesday March 29th, 2022 8:03:36 PM
Moridark listens to teh conversation, and orders red wine when it is time to do so.
DM RobC - "He said he's happy to be with us, heard you are a fantastic cook, and would like some beer" Wednesday March 30th, 2022 3:59:18 AM "Plain gold will be fine here" Ciyradyl chuckles to Osul. The question is no doubt to do with the semi-recent involvement of the followers of the white goddess. Armand phrases it well when he describes it as "out of kilter". Ciyradyl smiles and is polite in her response "Let's just say things are back to normal and you won't be seeing any of 'those kind' back here any time soon." Miles rubs his knuckles again.
Grindar then gives her some story with plenty of Sargrassian words and phrases thrown in. She looks a little confused but Trellus quickly translates. "Oh! One of the southern land folks. I've got some meerkat I wasn't sure what to do with. How's meerkat dumplings sound?"
The specials on the menu today are the roast pheasant with leek, and Smoked salmon with wild berries. Other (less special) traditional fare is available of course, such as beef stew, chicken, and such.
Drink orders are placed. "Beer all around then! And a wine, of course". Ciyradyl heads off to the bar to arrange the drinks while you make yourselves comfortable and decide on dinner.
Miles scoots his chair closer to the table. "I don't know about you, but I have to see if this pheasant is as good as they say"
Elyngael spots a young girl who has turned backwards on her seat to get a good look at the ranger. You'd put her at around 8 years old, and the shape of her ears suggest she's at least partly elven. "Lyari!" the undoubtedly elven woman seated to her left hushes "It's rude to stare. Now, eat your sprouts". She gives a polite smile to Elyngael and blushes a little. The girl's gaze barely shifts from Elyngael though. "But mama, it's them!". "Listen to your mother, Lyari" The man eating his meal pauses "If you eat all your sprouts AND if they're not busy, maybe you can go say hello after". He gives a smile and friendly wink in your direction.
Brawn is quite well known at the Tree and the residents are quite calm to see him. You even catch one man giving a nod of acknowledgement to the wolf. Cotton though is still somewhat of an unknown. She's with the party - who are heroes and have saved the Tree many, many times - but she's a rapke and looks kind of like a white pony/raptor hybrid.
Armand suggests perhaps getting a few more people into the tavern. If he's going to tell a tale, he only wants to do it once. He's sure it won't take long. News of your return will quickly travel throughout the Tree. Ciyradyl is probably going to be very busy very soon.
'Osul (Graham) AC:26 (T:21, FF:25), CMD:28, ST:(F17/R13/W28 + RNL), HP:107/107, Wildshape(XIX):8, L. Lord:17, S. Burst:14 Wednesday March 30th, 2022 7:57:58 AM "Thank you Ciyradyl. I certainly hope that is the case, and I for one would like to hear more about how they left, but all too soon we are going to root out their nests - so to speak.", he adds in quieter, almost hushed tones.
The farm boy will quite happily have some beef stew and a cob of bread with a fresh pat of butter. And drinks.
He looks around for a familiar face, and if he doesn't see them, he makes a point of calling at the chapel before the evening is gone.

Grindar smiles and answers Ciyradyl, "Whatever you make, I'm sure will be sha..., I mean great, though if you need a use for the meat, I'm not one to turn down such an offer."
Seeing everyone seemingly unsure as to how to take Cotton, Grindar addresses the crowd. "Cotton was only a pup, and left for dead by her kind, when I found her. You can still see the scar on her throat, from where her fellow rapkes tried to end her. You see rapke are pack animals, much like wolves, and as you know, a pack is only as strong as it's weakest link. Well, here we have one born an albino, and to a breed of pack animals that relies heavily on their natural camouflage, that is a liability, and so they tried to cull her. I got there just in time, and was able to save her life. sadly the damage to her throat destroyed her ability to use the sonic attack, that all rapkes normal can use, but she has been a worthy companion, and a faithful friend, and I can say with certainty, that the only ones who have reason to fear her, are those who wish to do harm to her, me, or those we care about."

While the others are bathing and getting situated, Neshi decides it would be a good time to head to the catacombs to sell their horde. Making a couple of trips using the 2 bags of holding, Neshi gets it all there and waits his turn.

Having returned from the catacombs, Neshi joins the group at the TTT and is pleased by the apparent return of normalcy to the general populace. He too orders the pheasant and some Tauran wine. and sits back and observes the room.

When Armand hears about Cotton's misfortune he offers, "I did not realize poor Cotten was damaged that way. I can cast Heal upon her. It should do to restore her sonic attack."
"I think I would like both the beef and the chicken please. I'm feeling a bit famished." He takes out his sage's journal. "This should help in keeping track of the what and when of our latest excursion. How far back should we go in this retelling?"

At Armand's suggestion, the man looks skeptical. "Worth the pick, but she matured without it. The necessary muscles may never have grown."

'Osul enjoys the simpler fare and looks for someone he might expect. Indeed, more and more people are entering the establishment, as word of your arrival spreads, and it would not be surprising to see just about any Tree denizen arrive.
Grindar is humble and willing to eat just about anything, but those dumplings do sound tasty.
Trellus is not hesitant to request the treat. Soon both of the Southerners are digging in to a dish that reminds them of days long gone by.
After the first serving, Grindar comes up for air and tells the story of his faithful friend, Cotton. Armand suggests that the disability can he healed, but Trellus and Grindar agree that it would likely not work. A bird with wings clipped from birth might have the damage regenerated with sufficient magic, but that would not let the poor bird fly.
Yurr'Neshi returns from the Catacombs and tells the group, privately despite the common setting, about the most recent loot disposition. The liontaur is happy to see that the place is returning to normal, and as a member of the race known as the most handsome in the Wold, he is the center of attention despite his quiet affect.
Elyngael is friendly but quiet. Moridark also keeps his own counsel. But both enjoy the delicious spread, the excellent drink, and the friendly atmosphere.
Their dinner concluded, Lyari, her mom, and her dad approach. The parents shoo the girl up, and she approaches, looking at you ... and suddenly tongue-tied. How do you react to this young one?

Trellus notes the girl, and slides out of his chair. Dropping down to a knee, he bends down further to meet her at her eye level.
"Many shadows," he greets her softly. "I'm Trellus of Rattledam. What's your name?"

'Osul simply smiles and says, "Hello!" to Lyari, and nods to her and her parents.
Co-DM Cayzle Friday April 1st, 2022 8:58:08 AM
The Wardens make Lyari welcome, each in their own way.
The little girl shyly pets Brawn and offers her name to Trellus.
"Wow!" she says, at a loss for words.
Her mom takes a step closer. "Thank you, good heroes! I read her your book every night. We never believed any of those bad things people were saying, either!"
If anyone asks her about what book, you discover that someone has created a picture book about you all, and it is circulating among the wealthier households that have kids.
Miles takes a look around at all the people who have entered the place, some trying to be casual, some openly curious, even admiring. He whispers to you, "You know, this is a pretty friendly crowd. Maybe a little speechifying would help nail down some of those good feelings -- and even spread them around. Just a suggestion."

Neshi digs in to the promised pheasant, looking around at his friends and wondering how he got so lucky as to fall in with such a wonderfully eclectic group of individuals.

OOC, Elyngael is short 72,695 for minimum wealth by level. Not going to take any gold until we see where everyone is.

Agree with Lynnette to wait and see where everyone else is. Didn't we have loot from Vurm the multicolored dragon? Or did that get cashed out already when we were last at the Tree?
Armand is rather stunned that there's a book circulating about them. He's not sure how to process that. Armand pauses to think. speechifying... what a strange word and somehow easily understood.
Diplomacy 35 (d20+21).
Armand stands to address the crowd. "Well good people as you know the last time we were in town there was some troubles with...money changers. The cult of the White Goddess had made some inroads here and was somehow convincing a good many of you to trade 2 of your good gold coins for one of theirs. Along with some rather skewed implications about us Wardens..
Be that as it may, We knew something was amiss as our town was not the only one where we'd encounter these disciples of the white goddess. So we did some reconnoitering to find out it was likely the white goddess was holed up in the mountains north of Dragon Bay. It was a fair bit of traveling to get there. Well to make long story short, we were pretty sure the white goddess was a dragon, in fact we were absolutely sure there were two of them in on this scheme to build their gold horde. We sussed out the mountain and found Grinder and Cotton on a similar path. We joined forces to enter the old mines of the mountain and in fact found that the white goddess was in fact at least a gargantuan sized white dragon, and she had two of her children to back her up. The youngest we took care of pretty quickly as we decided to concentrate on one at time rather than all three at once. The older dragon was large and took a bit longer to end. But the ancient mother dragon, well, she had us on the ropes with her tactics. But we managed to prevail. There were a few other dangers in the mines, but that's makes this a longer tale. After we did some healing up we teleported back to HQ to get properly cleaned up and well here we are."
He looks around. "If you want the full story I have my notes..."

Moridark slides his now empty plate to the side, pours a fresh glass of wine, and pulls his journal out. The mage compares his notes with Armands, and adds armands to his.

OOC: 'Osul originally took a Necklace of Adaption, which on reflection should not benefit him at all. Selling that will still leave him 9000gp and change short of getting the upgrade he is already in The Catacombs with. If he can sell another 18000gp plus to make up the difference then he will be a little over 57000gp short of WBL.

The party is content to let the silver-tonged Armand tell the tale of the party's latest adventure. ANd they are wise to do so, because Armand's recital is amazing and thrilling.
'Osul pays attention to the audience and finds everybody spellbound. There are gasps at the scary parts and ooo's at the exciting bits.
Neshi and Moridark sontinue their feasting as Armand speaks. Elyngael, Grindar, and Trellus pay attention to the story.
As Armand wraps up, the meal draws to a close. A few people approach for autographs. Others just want to say how glad they are that the Wardens are on the job.
Soon it is time to go, and the party faces a period of rest and relaxation. [OOC: Please wrap up the loot dispersal and make sure your PC sheets are up to date ... I am looking forward to reading them. Now is the time to do your training, craft your items, visit your favorite NPCs, and give the new DM a chance to settle in.

Thankful that the trial of meeting everyone and doing some explaining has been accomplished Armand takes a breather. "Anyone teleporting to Plateau City or some place large? They are not going to be able to craft my dragon scale shield here. Maybe not 'Osul's armor either. Not sure about that though."

The man spends his time wandering around, both within and below the Tree. Where he finds people who could use a bit of muscle (lifting, pushing, carrying, etc) he offers to lend a hand.

Grindar hangs around with his fellow Sargrassian, pitching in where Trellus does, and does his best to get to know his new home. He is more than a bit overwhelmed at the granduar of the Tree, convinced that the stories of the thing don't do it justice.
